This is a story of a supporting character slowly transforming into the main character. A cliché beginning, where the husband of many years sparks a 'true love' with his own sister, begging the wife, the older sister, to step aside and give her blessings. A bizarre process unfolds, as the older sister is moved by the true love between her husband and younger sister, and decides to step aside. However, tragedy strikes when the husband gets into a car accident and becomes paralyzed, while the younger sister ends up in a mental asylum. An unexpected ending awaits, as the older sister, who should have taken a bow and left the stage, ends up inheriting all the wealth and suddenly finds herself transported to another world. Inhabiting the body of a supporting character who craves prosperity, she realizes that no one can choose their birth mother, but they can choose their life path. She faces adversity fearlessly, knowing that her fate is in her hands. Embracing a secluded life, selecting a husband, and refusing to be taken advantage of in this life, she becomes the "vicious" supporting character who fears no one. "Hey, hey, older sister, you go your own way in the sunshine, and I'll cross my wooden bridge without any disturbance, okay?" "Hey, hey, older sister, did I toss your child into a well in my previous life?" This story takes place in an imaginary world and marks the author's first attempt at writing in such a setting. Your support is greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Gu Xiao for creating the cover, I really love it.
